{"product_id":"reflections-stories-for-inspiration-9798369400029","title":"Reflections: Stories for Inspiration","description":"Reflections is a compendium of stories that mark my journey from a one-bedroom, wooden house on the petite Caribbean island of Grenada to historic Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C.-the capital of the United States of America-as a senior diplomat. The book draws on the many experiences I have had over the past twenty-seven years in diplomacy and recounts stories that would inspire people to discover their voice and find purpose in a life of service. The truism is that everyone has a story to tell, but being bold enough to tell that story is a surefire way of leaving a legacy and putting a book on the bookshelf. The stories are of struggles, resilience, and giving back through advocacy and mentorship. Reflections takes you along a meandering path, revealing lessons on finding perspective, being persistent and consistent, building self-confidence and resiliency, and trusting the process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15753890\"\u003eYolande Y.
